Felix Randal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC CBBA DDE DDE| Felix Randal the farrier O he is dead then my duty all ended | A |
| Who have watched his mould of man big boned and hardy handsome | B |
| Pining pining till time when reason rambled in it and some | B |
| Fatal four disorders fleshed there all contended | C |
| - | |
| Sickness broke him Impatient he cursed at first but mended | C |
| Being anointed and all though a heavenlier heart began some | B |
| Months earlier since I had our sweet reprieve and ransom | B |
| Tendered to him Ah well God rest him all road ever he offended | A |
| - | |
| This seeing the sick endears them to us us too it endears | D |
| My tongue had taught thee comfort touch had quenched thy tears | D |
| Thy tears that touched my heart child Felix poor Felix Randal | E |
| - | |
| How far from then forethought of all thy more boisterous years | D |
| When thou at the random grim forge powerful amidst peers | D |
| Didst fettle for the great grey drayhorse his bright and battering sandal | E |
